A well known doctor says that the
fumes of kerosene, when a lamp is
turned low, are likely to cause dlph-
iberia. The New York board of health
few years ago decided that to this,
more than any other cause, the pre-
valence of this disease was attributed.
This Is given as accounting tor the
fact that diphtheria generally begins to
spread with the advent of short days
and long nights. Children dislike to go
to bed IN the dark, and the kind mother
lets the lamp remain in the bedroom,
usually turning down the flame, so
that the light shall not keep the child
awake. Many bedrooms are thus semi
lighted all night, and the windows
being closed, or raised but slightly. the
atmospheric condition is simply deathly.
A turned down kerosene lamp is a
magazine of deadly gas that the
healthiest lungs cannot safely be ex.
| posed to.

The Destructive Power of Torpe-
does.

The destructive power of torpedoes
was recently illustrated in the Resist
ance experiments; but no exact ac-
count of their action mas yet been pub
lished, as far as we know, of their use
in actual warfare. Although the de-
struction of the Chinese cOrvet Yank
Wo during the fight between the
French and the Chinese at Foochow
has almost been forgotten, no authen-
tic report of the encounter has ever
reached us. The account just given
of the humiliation of the Chinese YES
sci by a close eyewitness is therefore
doubly interesting. The writer says
that the French flagship had two tor
pedo boats attached to her at the gang
ways. The ship was about 800 yards
below the Yang Wo. As soon as the
firing commenced, both boats attacked
the Chinese vessel. The first one fired
her torpedo directly under the Yang
Wo's after gangway-starboard side.
No damage whatever was done to the
ship; but the officer in charge of the
torpedo-boat was wounded in the
chest by the return action of the tor
pedo. The other had in the meantime
attacked the ship forward, a little
abaft the cathead, on the same side.
This torpedo was in direct contact with
the ship. The effect was that, when
the torpedo exploded, it penetrated the
fore magazine, or rather the fire from
it did. This blew up, and the whole
forward part of the ship was de-
molished. This all happened within
three minutes. The remainder of the
wreck drifted ashore, and burned for
several days. The Yang Wo was a
wooden coryet of fourteen guns. The
torpedoes used were booms-contact
ones.-Iron.

further behind the large plants that
screened her.
Not for the world would she have

said Ralph unsteadily.
"Old man, l am sorry for yOu-I
did not know. Is 1t"-hesitatin gly-
''isit Rita Campbell?"
YES" admitted Ralph slowly; and
they moved on.
Rita was too stunned to move, even
when their voices had died away.
A tremor shook her frame; the slow
tears gathered beneath her lashes and
began to fall one by one.
docs he love mea" she cried, try
ing to believe in her happiness.
And SO absorbed was she that she
did not hear the sound of approaching
footsteps.
A startled exclamation reused her,
and looking up. she found Ralph stand
ing beside her.
They were both terribly agitated, but
after moments silence, Ralph said
very gently:
Miss Campbell, you have learned

ways laughed at the idea of love at
first sight. but the first time I saw YOU
my heart went from me. How my love
grew as the days went by it would be
impossible to tell you, but the hope of
my life was to call you my wife"

to steady his voice.

the colder you grew, and you will
never know the agony / endured when
found your heart shut against me; but
l determined not to pain you with an
ayowal of my love. and l should have
held to my resolve if accident had not
revealed my secret to you."
Not one word crossed the beautiful
lips when he finished.
Fearing he had annoyed her beyond
all forgiveness, Ralph started away;
but. as though she OWNED his
thoughts. Rita rose to her feet.
AS she raised her eyes to his face,
something in their lovely depths gave
Ralph touch of rapture he had never
known before.
Rita, he cried in low impassioned
tone, .'can it.be true that you love me
at last?"
She made no verbal answer, but
turned to him face full of happiness
and content. In another moment she
was in his arms

turned.

Long Distance Cavalry Riders.

Long distance rides were a feature
of the army exercises in India last sea-
son. Capt Dean-Pitt, officiating A
Q. NJ. G., of the Mhow Division, has
issued pamphlet in which the official
reports are reproduced, giving full
particulars of each.
The most important experiment, in
point of numbers engaged. was that
which was undertaken by Gen. Luck
under the camp exercise at Sibi Here
a complete cavalry brigade, consisting
of the Fifth Bombay Cavalry and the
Belooch Horse, nearly 800 ali told, was
called out. Gen. Luck appeared to
have aimed at giving as practical
character as possible to the enterprise.
In his belief, distance marches per-
formed by a few specially trained
and selected men are of no value as
proofs of what the regiment can
perform; hence the calling out of two
entire regiments.
An old horse, over IA years old, broke
down after the first 80 miles; another
fell out at 80 miles. Other of the old
horses were exhausted later in the
march, and two died. These casualties
happened in the Fifth Cavalry. The
Belooch Regiment was more fortunate,
for of the 326 who started, only two
were unable to complete the march,
In the detailed account of the condi-
ton of the horses of the Royal Artil-
lery which took part in the long march
from Kamptee to Jubbulpore and
back, weakness and age certainly are
not shown to have gone together, a
16-year old horse being entered as in
fairly good condition after march of
315 miles; while horses of II, 13, and
15 are included among the class in
good condition.

An Ohio Ghost.

There is a highly respectable family
by the name of Mark living in the vi
cinity of Sugar creek, Fayette county,
Ohio, who claim to have had remark
able experience for many years; and
what they willingly relate may be of
interest to many readers. The family
settled in the neighborhood in an early
day. when this section of the state was
sparsely settled. On the banks of
Sugar creek some woodman had built
frame structure, and for some years
had taken up his abode within it.
Eventually, however, changes occur
red, and Mr.. Mark took possession of
the house. One very warm night while
sleeping alone in an upper room, he
states that he was looking toward the
open window, unable to sleep, when a
stately, serious-looking man in broad
cloth glided into the room and ap-
preached his bed. The apparition-
for so he regarded it-had strange
unearthly expression of countenance,
and didn't use its feet in moving about.
Mr.. Mark was utterly terrified, and, as
he says, leaped almost to the foot of
the stairs and hurried from the build
ing to the home of neighbor as rapid
ly as his feet could take him. Some
time afterward, while workmen were
procuring gravel from a pit near by.
they came upon barrel in which was
secreted hideous skeleton, which be-
came the basis of many unpleasant
conjectures. On another occasion,
after the gentleman referred to had be-
come the head of large and prosper
GUS family, while some of the children
were playing about the kitchen-door,
a cadaverous object, with a strange
livid complexion and long outstretched
arms, rose apparently out of the ground
Immediately in front of them. The
affrighted children ran into the house
to their mother. screaming, and un-
able to make known what they had
seen. 1t was not long after this affair
until one of the daughters died. A
few months elapsed, and the mother
was awakened about 4 o'clock one
morning by an ominous sound in the
front yard. She arose to investigate.
About midway between the house and
the street gate her deceased daughter
seemed to be standing, s.if in trouble,
and as if she were searching for some
thing that had been lost. The mother
says that it all seemed so real to her
that she attempted to approach her
daughter but was disappointed by see
ing her suddenly vanish. The entire
family are firm in the belief that all
these circumstances were real, and
nothing will make them more iudig-
nant than to call them in question.

Girls as Workers.

A girls mind developes very rapid
ly, much more rapidly than an aver
age boys; and when an intelligent
girl shows any special ability in one
direction she improves in that especial
direction so quickly that one is de-
ceived into thinking she has genius for
it; she herself becomes fired with am
bition, works hard,-and many girls
can work in way that would shame
some boys,-builds castles in the air
of future fame and greatness. gives up
other interests and hopes for the one
aim, which, alasi is often disappointed.
Nineteen out of every twenty-might
we not say ninety-nine out of every
hundredP- P-girls stop when you think
they are going to do something worth
doing, and never get any further.
They have talent which education has
brought out and deceived them into
mistaking for genius. There is, how
ever, one very great advantage in the
present rage for classes of all kinds,
and in the facilities for study in all di-
rections; it gives many girls an object
in life, even If they do not do anything
very great for the benefit of the ma
